• B. 20/06/20
• C. 20/08/2020

Answer 1

The correct option is A 20/07/20

Date of packaging of the food item:

20${}^{\text{th}}$ November 2019
20${}^{\text{th}}$ December 2019
20${}^{\text{th}}$ January 2020

20${}^{\text{th}}$ June 2020
20${}^{\text{th}}$ July 2020

So, the date of expiration of the food item is 20${}^{\text{th}}$ July 2020 or 20/07/20.
